Unspoken
Chapter 2: Hey whats on your wrist?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterRainbow Dash P.O.V.
I awake to my alarm clock, oh what a nightmare, I think. Out of habit I get out of bed and start getting dressed. Got my T-shirt, skirt, shorts- but then I see myself in the mirror; My face is covered in bruises and my wrist has bloody napkins, I turn around and pull down my shirt to see the words "Tracer Flame's Property" carved into my upper left shoulder on my back. I fall to my knees and put my hand over my mouth, I feel like barfing. Oh shit...Fuck!..I think tearing up..No, I can't cry, not today.
Considering that happened, I change into some jeans and put on a hoodie to cover my cuts, I also style my hair in my face to try and hide the bruises, no one can know.
Right when I'm about to leave my mom stops me, crap!
"Good Morning Dashie-.Um why are you dressed like that? Is something wrong" My mom asks me, worry fills her eyes.
"No, nothings wrong..Hey I got to go to my bus stop, bye-" With that I'm out the door before my mom can reply.
God I hope she doesn't suspect anything I hopefully think as I walk to my bus stop.
When I arrive at my bus stop Soarin is already there, we have the same bus stop.
"Hello Dash, uh why are you wearing a hoodie, and jeans?" Soarin asks me with a confused look on his face.
"I was cold this morning." I lied.
"Its 80 degrees out." Soarin asks, curious.
"Uh-" I couldn't finish, our bus pulled up to our stop, thank god, I think as I walk to my spot on the bus. I sit down and look out the window, trying to calm my anxiety about what could happen today. Maybe my friends will find out, maybe he will rape me again, maybe I could get expelled! I don't know!- I get taken back to reality when FlutterShy sits down next to me.
FlutterShy P.O.V.
"Hi Rainbow Dash." I say as I sit down next to her.
"Hi FlutterShy."She replies, still looking out the window.
"Hey..um..Did you go with anybody to sugar cube corner?" I ask her.
"No, I went alone." She answers, her voice shakes a little.
"Are you sure?" I ask again, somethings off.
"Yes! I'm sure.." Rainbow says throwing her arms out snapping a little, one of her sleeves falls down a little revealing a scratch that looked like it still had fresh blood in it. I lunge for her sleeve trying to pull it down but she stops me in the process.
"What are you doing Shy?" She says pulling down her sleeve.
"No-Nothing." I say quietly, it was an awkward bus ride from then on.
Rainbow Dash P.O.V.
The bus comes to a stop as it nears the edge of school campus. I walk down the stairs from the bus and step onto the school sidewalk. For the first time I'm actually scared, no nervous, to walk into school. I continue to walk further into school campus with every step it becomes harder to breath, I feel like everyones looking at me as I walk through the cramped hallways as I walk to my locker. 31-21-15 , I enter my combination, open sesame, and my locker opens. I get my english, history, and my science notebooks and head off to my english class.
I enter my english class, anxiety fills the air and my palms become sweaty, he's in this class, I think as I sit in my seat. At least we sit nowhere near each other, I think as english class begins.
"Good morning class." Our teacher, Mrs. Cheerlie said.
"Good morning Mrs. Cheerlie." The class replys in unison, I stayed quiet, I don't want to bring any attention to me right now after the events of last night, epecaly since he's in this class.
Mrs. Cheerlie then begins her class after those short exchange of words. I think we were reading something about the great deprestion, but I was too distraught from the events of last night to listen or care.
"Rainbow Dash!" Mrs. Cheerlie says angerly.
"Yes Mrs. Cheerlie.?" I reply while butterflys start to flap there wings in my stomach.
"Could you tell me what just happened in the story we're reading? Could you even tell me the name of the story?" Mrs. Cheerlie says walking towards me, ganging up on me it felt like.
I thought for a second, searching my mind for the answers to her questions.
"No..I can't.." I say wanting to disapear as I feel eyes burning through me.
"Well maybe you should pay more attention in my class." Mrs. Cheerlie says while letting out a disapointed sigh.
"Yeah Dash! Pay attention!" Tracer flame says before I can respond. He says that knowing that would make me feel worse, knowing he was the one who made me like this, know he had hurt me, knowing he had raped me! My breathing had ecilated, I have to calm down or at least steady my breathing, I look at the time, 3 more minutes remained. Thank god, I had spent most of this period in my own mind that it had past by quickly.
The bell rings, everyone rises from there seats instantly, happy to get out of this class. I was one of the first ones out of their seats, I didn't want to be anywhere near him.
I leave the classroom but it does no good, Tracer flame catches up to me.
"So, did you fantasize about me?" Tracer flame says like the creep he is.
"No, why would I?" I say trying to walk away but he stops me.
"You know that I own you right?" He asks me, I raise an eyebrow, what is he going on about?
"Those words I carved on your back say 'Tracer Flames property'." He says while touching the carvings on my back, I cringe as his hand makes contact with my flesh, it still hurts.
"And that shows that you are my property." He says as his hand reaches for my butt.
"NO!" I say moving out of his reach. "I am not your property nor will I ever be!" I say walking away.
He calls after me as I walk down the corridor to my classroom. I ignore his taunts, I don't want to go anywhere near that-that monster!
I arrive at my next class, I'm a little late thanks to Tracer Flame. I get a lecture from the teacher about being tardy but I could care less. I walk over to my seat and get situated, I don't know anyone in this class so my mouth stays shut while I do so. I decide to keep my focus on the teacher this class, I don't want to be degraded again.
Fluttershy P.O.V.
I walk to my next class. I'm a little late because I was helping my first period teacher with something. I had a pass of course but still I was late.
I walked into class quietly, trying not to disterb the rest of the class.
"Mrs. Shy do you have a pass?" The art teacher asks me. I hand her my pass and walk towards my seat. Rarity sits next to me, we have this class together.
"Darling did you see Rainbow Dash today? Did she say anything about last nights ordeal?" Rarity asks me, she is concerned, same as I.
"She denied that anything happened to her last night-" I try to exsplain but Rarity interupts me.
"Do you believe her?" She says, doubting what our friend has said.
"No, she was also wearing a hoodie. It looked like she was hiding something." I say."I'm worried about her."
Rarity nods her head in agreement.
"Should we talk to her about it?" Rarity asks me sharing my worry.
"We can try but I doubt we'll get anything out of her." I say, Rarity sighs knowing that my theory is correct.
"I just want to help her. She may deniy it but I know something happened to her last night."
Rainbow Dash P.O.V.
Class had gone by rather quickly, it was lunch already. I sit with my friends like usawal. I sit down next to Pinkie Pie, my friends cast worried glances at me, whats going on?
"Guys, did something happen?" I ask them, why are they looking at me like that?
Rarity is the first to speak "Darling, we are just worried about you-"
"Why? Why are you worried about me?" I cut Rarity off, how do they know?!
"Cause' we are your friends." Apple Jack picks up where Rarity left off. "We saw you in some guys car, looked like you were passed out.."As Aj continues alarm starts to go off in my head, I want to scream, they fucking know EVERYTHING!
"..So what ever did happen last night?" Apple Jack finishes.
"Nothing." Think Dash, think!"..We just went to sugar cube corner for some shakes and that's it." I lie, they can't find out, they just can't!
"But Rainbow-" Flutter Shy trys to say but I interupt her.
"Nothing happened!" I say while getting up to grab my lunch, not wanting to dive into my lie any deeper.
Soarin P.O.V.
I walk back to my seat, lunch in hand. My friends were already eating, they pack their lunch's.
"Hey Soarin?" I hear a feminen voice, I turn around,. It's Rainbow Dash."Can I sit here?"
I glance back at my friends who were just as dumbfounded as me, she never sits here.
"Yeah..Sure." With that she then sits down and starts eating.
"So is everything alright Dash?" Spitfire asks, we were all wondering.
"Uh Yeah, everything's fine." Rainbow reply's, I'm pretty sure she was lying. "Why'd you ask?" She says with a fake smile.
"It's just, you never sit over here, you always sit with your friends." Fleetfoot reply's to Dash's question.
"It's nothing..I just got annoyed with what they were talking about." Dash said, we let go of the subject even though I don't think any of us beleived her. For the rest of lunch we all just talked about classes and upcoming sports games. Rainbow Dash wasn't alright, I could tell.
Rainbow Dash P.O.V.
Lunch had just ended and thank god because it was starting to get awkward.
I have gym this period, thank god Tracer Flame is not in this period otherwise I'd have no peace!
I walk into the girls locker room to dress out. I would dress out on the open like the majority of the other girls but today I have a carving on my back and slits on my wrist, my only option was to dress out in a shower stall. I dress out as quickly as possible, hoping no one would notice my change in routine. Since my gym clothes are short sleeved I'd have to wear my hoodie out.
Right as I'm about to leave for the field Rarity stops me, she has gym 4th period too.
"Darling, I just wanted to apologize about what happened at lunch..We- I shouldn't have pushed you." Rarity apologizes, I guess it's a good thing that she cares, but not good at the same time.
"It's fine, don't worry about it." I say forgiving her for something that wasn't worth apologizing for.
"Also, why are you still wearing a hoodie? Its not like you to wear long sleeves in gym." Rarity asks, shit!
"I'm just..Cold." I respond with lies.
"Uh-Huh.." Rarity says with doubt in her voice. "Just know that you can always talk to me Rainbow Dash, okay?" Rarity says, her blue eyes pericing my rose ones.
"I know." but I can't!
After our short little conversation, I finally made it out of the locker room. People were already lined up at the track, ready to run. I was walking over to join them, but then the couch stops me, what now?\
"Rainbow Dash."
"Yeah..?" I reply.
"You do know my rule about hoodies don't you?"
I think for a second...crap! I remembered, he doesn't allow hoodies.
"Oh Yeah.." I say rubbing the back of my head.
"Take it off and put it on the bleachers and line up by the track." He orders.
"Okay" I sigh, with that he walks away.
I walk over to the bleachers and take off me hoodie. Instantly I feel like everyone is looking at me, investigating me. I hold my slitted wrist close to my body, wanting no one to know of my cuts. I walk over to the track where my other classmates are. Their eyes fell on me, almost as if they could smell my fear. Sweat starts to form on my forehead and all I was doing was standing there. My thoughts had engulfed me. Your worthless, they say, there all staring because they know your a little cutting whore! I bit my lip as my finger nails dig into my palms..
"Rainbow Dash!? Are you okay??" Soarin ask's, bringing me back to reality.
"Yeah, yeah, everything's fine." I say rubbing the back of my head.
Soarin's eyes widen then I realize, my wrist was exposed. I cover it up instantly using my body as a shield but it does no good; he takes my wrist and asks "Rainbow, whats this..?" Soarin asks, his voice faltering.
"Nothing!..Its nothing!" I say pulling my wrist away from his grip. Before Soarin can respond, the coach blows the whistle. I take off running, trying to run away from everything.
Soarin P.O.V.
What was that? I ask myself as my legs carry me around the track. Why would she do that? I think..but then again what if a....Cat scratched her or something? No! She doesn't even have a cat! I cant deny it! Shes cutting herself! What should I do? Should I tell princble Celestia? Should I just talk to her? Questions raced through my head as I ran, non of which I could answer.
"Soarin!" Coach Silver yelled at me."Why are you still running? You passed the stoping line."
"Uhh..I don't know." Couch silver looked at me funny but shrugged it off after about a second.
I need to find Rainbow Dash, I think as I look through the crowd of students. There! She was standing in the back with her arms pressed against her stomach. I walk over to her, I don't think she notices me.
"Um.. Hey Rainbow.." I say with caution.
"Hi.." She says hiding behind her hair.
"What was this that on your wrist..? Did you do that..?" I ask, hoping-praying she will say 'no', but as I feared, she nodded her head signifying a 'yes'.
"Why? Why did you do that to yourself?" I ask putting my hands on her shoulders. She glances to the side.
"Please Rainbow..You can tell me.." I say looking into her eyes, Oh no, tears were forming in her eyes..
"Rainbow" I say trying to push the hair out of her face but she pulls away from me. " Rainbow! I'm-" I swing out me hand to try and grab her hand but she is out of my reach.
With self pity I look down and murmur the last word of my sentence: "Sorry."
Rainbow P.O.V.
For the rest of gym I cried under the bleachers, that was fun. The rest of my classes were okay, I had my hoodie and no tears were shed. The bell had just rung marking the end of 7th period and the end of the school day. Everyone, including me, were getting their backpacks from their lockers and heading off to their ride home or to wherever.
As soon as I finished putting my stuff in my backpack I put the thing on my back and started walking to my bus.
I walk up the steps leading onto the bus and troll down the isle to my designated seat, it's empty, Fluttershy hasn't gotten on the bus yet.
I sit down and put my backpack on the floor, I stare out the window while waiting for Fluttershy, the view wasn't really breathtaking, it just showed another bus.
I feel the seat move and a boyish voice say "Hey,"
I turn around to see Soarin staring at me, oh god not this again.
"Hi.." I say awkwardly.
"Uh..May I sit here?" He asks, I look around for Fluttershy, not here.
"Sure." I say scooting over to give him a little more room.
"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry about what happened in gym earlier.." Soarin apologizes.
"It's fine, don't worry about it Soar." I say forgiving him, it's not even his fault you dumb fuck, you overreacted like usual!
"Dash, you good?" Soarin asks waving his hand in front of my face.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just zoned out little bit." I say snapping back into reality.
"Hey, uh do you want to go to my place after this?" Soarin asks awkwardly.
"Um sure." I say.
For the rest of the bus ride I just stared out the window watching the cars move along side us while Soarin tried to make conversation with me. My responses were 'yeah', 'uh huh', or 'no'. Eventually he stopped trying an just went on his phone for the remainder of the ride.
The bus slowed to a stop and opened it's doors, me and Soarin exited into the isle and down the stairs into the outside world.
"Onward to my house!" Soarin says with a goofy sile forming on his face.
"Yep!" I say letting loose a laugh, it felt good to laugh.
With that, I followed Soarin to his house, we walked for a few minutes until we reached his house. His mom wasn't home like usual, she's a pretty shitty parent to Soarin to be honest. Ever since his dad divored her(for good reason), she took up drinking to cope, later it turned into sex. She used to be at least a decent mom but now shes just a drunken whore.
"Ma'lady," Soarin says opening the front door and doing a little bow.
"Thank you sir."I say lifting up an invisable skirt.
After that me and Soarin shared a few laughs and headed up stairs to his room.
"Do you want to play 'Left for dead 2?" Soarin says turning on his xbox.
"Sure." I anwser.
Soarin then sets up the game, soon enough the game is at it's game settings screen and we are able to pick our characters.
I pick the character "Ellis" and Soarin picks the character "Nick" like usual, we decided to play the the campian "Hard Rain" on the advanced difficulty, and with that we started the game.
We played for about 1 and a half hours, we had to restart the level sometimes because we both died but thats okay.
When we were on the last level of the campain my phone starts ring. Soarin pauses the game and I pick up my phone, it's my mom
"Hello?" I say being the first to speak.
"Where are you???" My mom asks franticly.
"I'm at Soarin's." I anwser, I hear my mom sigh.
"Why didn't you text me that?" My mom asks.
"I forgot, sorry." I apologize.
"Whatever, just come home now." My mom sighs.
"Ok-" I say and my mom hangs up.
"Hey Soar, I have to go." I say standing up.
"Oh ok." Soarin says. Right as I'm about to leave his room, Soarin stops me. "Hey Rainbow? Can you promise me something?"
"Yeah, what?" I say fully turning aroud to face Soarin.
"Promise me tat you wont cut tonight, please." Soarin's question had caught me off gard, I can't promise that...
"I'm sorry, but I can't." I say and with that I turn around and leave, down the stairs and out the front door.
I walked home in silence, the neighborhood looked abanndond exept for a few cars hea and there, it was peaceful and most of all, quiet.
I soon arrived in my front yard, and then I found myself walking into my house. I opened the door and walked inside, my mom was waiting for me.
"Why didn't you tell me where you were? I was worried sick!" My mom says running up to embrace me.
"I forgot." I say struggling to breath, I swear she wants to strangle me!
"Well I'm sorry so say that there will be consequences for this." My mom says releasing me, allowing me to breath.
"Well what is it?" I say, fml
"Your grounded for a month, that means no dilly-dallying after school." My mom says strictly.
"But mom-"
"No buts! Your grounded and thats that!" My mom says.
With that I sigh and head off to my room to get some sleep.
"Did you just roll your eyes at me?" My mom says starting to get angry.
"Theres a difference between sighing and rolling my eyes mom!" I say stating to get irritated.
"Say that again!" My mom says taking a step closer to me.
"I said-" I was interrupted by the impact of my moms hand going across my face.
"Rainbow..I'm so sorry." My mom says as I walk away. "Rainbow!"
I shut my door behind me and collapse into my bed, I turn off the lights and let the tears flow freely. I let the thoughts come and break me, but I didn't care. Soon enough I drifted into a long needed slumber.
